Zanzibar Sunrise at Bandas is a beautiful, remote, eco friendly beach hotel located on the unspoiled hidden North-Eastern coast of the island of Zanzibar.
Set on a spectacular white sand beach that leads to a shallow lagoon with clear, turquoise waters and coral reefs, our hotel on the beach is the perfect choice if you are looking for a tropical paradise away from it all. You can walk along the majestic palmed-lined beach for miles in both directions, only occasionally coming across other people.
If you choose to stay with us, you will get a unique chance to experience the authentic local way of life in connection with the surrounding nature.
Affording unrivaled views of Matemwe Lagoon, our all-natural, thatched beach bungalows are exceptionally spacious and were built using traditional, eco-friendly materials used in Zanzibar for centuries. They feature beautifully finished, hand-crafted furniture, including coconut wood beds and safari chairs with tables so that you can chill in considerable style and comfort as you gaze out dreamily onto Matemwe beach. It's a dream place for honeymoon in Zanzibar.
Our restaurant & bar are locally thatched and all-wooden ‘makuti’ buildings, and are bordered with fine white sand. Meals are prepared by our local chefs Hashim, Kheri, Finiko, Emmanuel and we are happy to cater to any special dietary requirements.
If you prefer, you can enjoy your meals and drinks or a candle-lit dinner on your veranda.
Whether you’re looking for relaxation or adventure, you’ll be spoiled for choice for things to do in Zanzibar.
The tropical island paradise promises a wealth of interesting activities, including: diving, kite-surfing, snorkeling, spice tours and architectural wonders of historic Stone Town. Everything can be arranged here on site.
We are a genuinely local and international impact investment business and we invest heavily in our community.
Our hotel is founded on the principle of fair trade travel and international and local partnership, and we are substantially owned by Zanzibaris, which means that the income we generate really does make a difference to local people. We take our social responsibilities very seriously and we have drawn faithfully on Zanzibar’s rich and ancient traditions and culture, while employing over 70 local artisans to build, furnish and maintain our uniquely authentic property.
